By Definition. A single board foot of lumber measures 1 inch thick, 12 inches wide and 12 inches long. The formula for calculating board feet is first to multiply thickness by width by length -- in inches. Then divide the total by 144 for the total board footage of a given board.
Board Feet - Lumber thickness 2. 1  1 x 4 - divide linear length (feet) by 3 - (length x 1/3) 2  1 x 6 - divide linear length (feet) by 2 - (length x 1/2)  1 x 8 - multiply linear length (feet) by 0.66 - (length x 2/3)
